Bike Friendly Farmers Branch ~ Bici Amistosa Farmers Branch

Archive for April, 2011

We’ve got some fantastic news for all bike lovers living in and around Farmers Branch …. a new bike shop is coming soon to the Branch! Performance Bicycle will be opening a shop on … wait for it, wait for it …. TBD!!! Okay, so we don’t have an official grand opening date just yet, but it’s great news just the same. More information on this development in the posts to come. In the meantime, we hope you’re all as excited as we here at BFFB are.

Exciting news!!! Bike Friendly Farmers Branch now has its very own logo. Many thanks to our friends at Bike Friendly Oak Cliff for so generously allowing us to use their image as the basis for our own. We have big plans for this logo … t-shirts, stickers, flyers … who knows? Be on the lookout for the BFFB logo around town in the weeks and months to come. We hope to spread our bike friendly love all over Farmers Branch!

Welcome to Bike Friendly Farmers Branch! We’ve founded this blog with the hope that we might inspire our fellow Farmers Branch residents to join us as we get outside, on our bikes, and meet our neighbors — in the parks and on the trails and streets of Farmer Branch. We were inspired by the amazing work at Bike Friendly Oak Cliff. The good folks at BFOC have made incredible progress in promoting the creation of better cycling facilities and improved infrastructure. As they so eloquently put it:

We couldn’t agree more. And we hope that our fellow residents will join us as we promote cycling in Farmers Branch not simply for recreation – but for transportation as well.

However, we here at BFFB hope to take the BFOC torch and ride it just one small block forward in a way that we believe is particularly important to Farmers Branch. The last few years have seen a troubling divide develop within our community. We would like to see that chapter closed and a new one begun in the true spirit of community. We hope that by encouraging all of our fellow residents to take to the streets on two wheels, Farmers Branch will be Bike Friendly and Neighbor Friendly.
